MOLDERS FLASK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,219, dated February19, 1889.

Application filed November 5, 1888. Serial No. 289,956. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Covington, county ofKenton, State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement inMolders Flasks, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a support and fastening for thecross-bars in a molders flask, so as to hold them securely in positionand permit of their being readily removed for the purpose ofsubstituting new ones or changing them from one position to another.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the moldersflask embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of thebar-holders detached, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of theholder-caps detached.

A represents the nowehand l the cope, of a molders flask.

C C are the cross-bars which hold the sand in place.

D D represent sockets or holders adapted 1 to receive the ends of thecross-bars C C.

E is a cap adapted to take over the socket or holder D, and is locked tothe same by means of a lug, 6, taking into a recess, (1, in theholder.Several of these recesses are preferably made on each holder to allow ofadi justment for different-sized cross-bars.

It is obvious that the lug may be upon the 7 socket or holder and therecesses in the cap, Be itknown that I, CHARLES Bosnnscn'orz,

or any suitable device may be employed for locking the caps to theholders, and that anyshaped holder may be used. The socket or hold er Dis preferably attached to the frame of the flask by means of screws orrivets, but it may be made a part of the flask itself, if desired.

.It will be observed that holders made substantially as shown willsupport the bars firmly in position, prevent them from warping, and ifthe operator inserts a bar incorrectly will permit of its being readilycorrected by removing the bar and inserting a new one, or by changing itend for end, Without disturbing the flask or its contents. None of theseadvantages are had where the bars are mounted in the flask, as formerly.

I claim as my invention of holders, a cross-bar or cross-bars supportedthereby, and caps provided with locking devices, substantially as andfor the purpose specified.

2. The combination of the flask, holders D D, having recesses cl cl,cross-bars O O, supported thereby, and caps E E, having lugs e e,substantially as described.
